Hey folks! Here's some pics from last night's show. I'll add some more when I get a chance! https://imageshack.com/user/llopez86/a/LGeF
LOVE seeing his pre show big screens!
Yeah! Me too! I had heard about the all new pre-show film, so that's why there's so many pictures of the screens in the album.

That's what needs to be included on one of the fan made DVDs that go around. No one ever seems to tape that.

I wish I had attended this concert just to hear Paul belting out Long Tall Sally! Wonder if he has any vocal chords today!

great pics you guys----

Thank you for all the pictures from the pre-show film. My camera isn't good enough to get the kind of pictures you did. Beautiful.

I will never forgive myself for doing something that I would never normally do. Leave after the he did his last song. I heard he play his encore but to miss out on David Grohl is terrible. I had problems with this concert. I got their late took 45 min to find parking and missed the beginning which never happens. But it was a great concert the best I seen of Pauls. He did a great job and delivered everything he got. What songs did he play for the encore anyone know. I think I missed out on a lot didn't I.
Encore 1: "Day Tripper" "Cut Me Some Slack" "Get Back" Encore 2: "Yesterday" "Long Tall Sally" "Helter Skelter" "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End"

For an historical aspect, the following link contains a portion of the audio of "Long Tall Sally" performed by the Beatles for the final time:

Aaaaand goosebumps.
My friend and I who were at tonight's show were completely gobsmacked! We just couldn't believe they busted out "Long Tall Sally"! First time Paul has played it live since '86 at the Prince's Trust concert, I think!
I had this feeling this morning when I woke up that something special happened in Seattle last night. I just did. As I scrolled through the setlist, I noticed 39 instead of 38 then saw Cut Me Some Slack...figured...wow that's awesome! Then when I saw my favorite Beatles cover of ALL TIME on the setlist, my jaw dropped and I just stared blankly at the screen. I can't think of a time since '86 when Paul's brought out Sally. I think you're right. Unbelievable! I go to three U.S. shows and miss the big one lol.
GOTTA LOVE YOU TUBE!!! SO COOL. FANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD CAN'T BE THERE...BUT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS WE CAN ALL SHARE IN THIS STUFF!

"Long... Tall... Sally"?!?!? OMG....one of my absolute favorites and I didn't get to see it. I thought very long and hard about hopping a plane...camp out either in the airport or outside the venue, but just didn't work out. Wow.....I SOOOO wish I was there!! Monday I will watch the videos @ work. So happy for all of you that were able to attend.

I did not take enough pictures, I was enjoying the show too much to mess with my camera. I didn't get many decent ones. Wish the mike wasn't in front of Dave in this pic. And that crane for the video camera really got in my way.
I think it's a great pic! And the video camera crane drove me absolutely nuts in Brooklyn too. I despised it much more than the extended, rising stage which I thought was cool

Just read a fantastic review by Charles Cross in the Seattle Times titled...McCartney Concert - A Moment in History. It seems like the reviews for this latest tour have been out of this world. This one is like icing on the cake. Relative to Paul, it makes me feel somewhat envious of a City like Seattle with at least objective music critics. I live half the year in Philadelphia and one of our main music critics (Dan Deluca) is so disrespectful of Paul. I thought Paul's last concert in Philadelphia (Wells Fargo Center) was so great. I think it was 2011 and he added songs like 1985, Letting Go, Ram On, I'm Looking Through You, Two of Us etc. to the Set. His voice sounded great and the Band was spectacular. Deluca, almost begrudgingly, admitted that Paul delivered the goods in a relatively small review, and still had to bring up his negative opinion on Paul's solo songs like My Love and Let'm In (out of 38 songs mind you). His review almost sounded like Paul could have been any fairly decent up and comer. I was there and it wasn't hard to sense how Paul just mesmerized the standing room crowd for almost 3 hours. A friend of mine questioned how this guy (Deluca) could have been at the same concert. Unobjectivity at its finest. Anyway, very happy for the Seattle fans. I know what it is like to be mesmerized by a Macca show and it is so great that Paul and Band are still performing at such a high level. Love Dave Grohl so that had to be amazing.

It was fantastic and I cannot imagine how a critic could pan this show. Besides the obvious historic "Sir-vana" songs, Paul's performance was spectacular. I only heard his voice sound warbled once at the beginning of Maybe I'm Amazed but it sounded more like he was emotional from introducing it as a song he wrote for Linda. And the whole song he seemed so emotional like he was singing it to Linda, which along with the pictures behind him, sent me into tears. Really strong set list, a lot of fun, energetic songs, and some really great treats throughout (I was really pleasantly surprised with Mr Kite). It was absolutely perfect.

Just saw this video of the opening of the show. The guy taking the video is a few rows behind Dave Grohl, sitting in the audience with his family (he's holding his adorable daughter with purple ear covers). How awesome that he was watching the show! Any board members sit near him?

Hey thanks for posting that.

Holy cow, I watched that particular video yesterday and was completely taken by that cute little blond girl with the awesome purple ear protectors. I was thinking, what a considerate parent to make sure their child didn't get any hearing damage. I never even noticed the guy who was holding her! LMFAO. This time I even noticed Krist come in and sit down before spotting the little girl.

Geographically, the next closest show to that is Outside Lands so I have my fingers crossed on this happening again. PAUL, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I BEG YOU!!!!
Well Nirvana are from Seattle so I wouldn't count on it. I think this was a one-off. This could be like Rockshow filmed mostly in Seattle, and I hope we see a DVD of the tour and this special night!
